FSS ESCROW ACCOUNTS

An incentive to join the FSS program is the escrow savings account.

While on the Housing Choice Voucher program, when your earned income goes up, your portion of rent goes up

If you’re enrolled in the FSS program, you will also have money set aside every month in a special savings account called an escrow account

Example: If you get more hours at work and your portion of rent goes up by 4100, approximately $100 will also be placed in the escrow account every month for you!

When you graduate and meet your goals, you can use this money for whatever you want
